The waterproofing chemicals market is projected to reach USD 30.88 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 12.1%. The market is driven by the increase in governmental policies boosting infrastructure growth, improving economics and quality of construction and high demand in developing nations. However, the mature markets of Europe and North America are projected to witness slow growth during the forecast period between 2016 and 2021.

The waterproofing chemicals market has been witnessing many developments over the past few years. They are used for the manufacturing of waterproofing system/technology, which are then further used in various applications, such as, roofing & walls, floor & basements, waste & water management, and tunnel liners. The most common waterproofing chemicals available for the manufacturing of different types of waterproofing systems/technology are bitumen, PVC, TPO, and EPDM.

These chemicals are mainly used for the manufacturing of roofing membranes for waterproofing. These roofing membranes are used globally for various applications including solid and liquid waste management, waste & water treatment, mining, and tunnel liners. Asia-Pacific and North America are the key commercial markets for waterproofing chemicals, globally. Asia-Pacific accounted for a major share in the overall waterproofing chemical market, in terms of volume, due to the growing building & construction industry in the region.

Asia-Pacific, North America, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa are considered as the main regions for the waterproofing chemicals market in the report. Currently, Asia-Pacific is the largest market of waterproofing chemicals, with the maximum share in the total global market. The waterproofing chemicals market is emerging in various countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil due to increasing industrial activity. Some of the primary drivers of waterproofing chemicals growth are impressive growth of the construction and water management industry, especially in the developing countries of Asia-Pacific region, followed by the increasing demand in mining applications and the cost-effectiveness of the basic waterproofing chemicals, which is further expected to drive the waterproofing chemical market, globally.

The waterproofing system/technology manufacturers are affected by price sensitive customers. Most of the waterproofing chemicals are petroleum-based and are vulnerable to fluctuations in the commodity prices. Oil prices have been highly volatile in the recent times. This is a major challenge for the waterproofing chemicals industry to predict the future price of basic raw materials resulting in low investments in waterproofing system related projects.

BASF SE (Germany) has extensive experience in the field of waterproofing chemicals. The company maintains high profitability and revenue as compared to its competitors. This illustrates the overall position of the company in taking investment risks to expand its production capacity as well as market share. It is focusing immensely on research & development for launching new products & services. The company maintains a strong brand image in the waterproofing chemical market, as it provides high-quality products. In 2015, a waterproofing solution was launched that makes concrete structures more durable and resistant to weathering for concrete protection in South Asia. This launch has strengthened the reach of the company in the Asian waterproofing market, resulting in increased revenue in the functional material & solution segment of the company.
